Chapter 11: Lesser Demons Are Like Cats

༺ Lesser Demons Are Like Cats ༻

Romimimi—

Naru peacefully lay in bed, fast asleep.

Beside her, I whispered softly.

“Naru, if you don’t wake of up now, we will eat cake without you.”

“Mnnn......nnn......nnnoh.......”

“Hehe.”

Hilarious.

I’ve noticed lately that after Naru lays her head on the pillow, she falls asleep within seconds.

And once she’s asleep, she doesn’t wake up easily.

It’s quite the opposite of me, a light sleeper.

I usually toss and turn for about an hour before I can fall asleep.

Even then, since I’m a light sleeper, I also wake up at the faintest of noises.

It’s a habit formed through my rough days on the street, or perhaps that’s my nature.

In that sense, Naru’s deep sleep was probably inherited from her mother.

I don’t think I have ever encountered a woman who slept this well.

As I thought about this, the door was slammed open.

Creeeak—

A rush of hot steam escaped from within.

And I could see a pair of whiter-than-expected toes.

Above them, thin ankles, toned calves, and flawless thighs were revealed.

Leather pants that resembled a dolphin’s shorts, a smooth belly, and big breasts covered by a damp towel.

Droplets of water fell from her wet hair.

“I’m sensing an ominous gaze. A demon......?”

Cariote looked around the room.

At the same time, I subtly turned my head, pretending to not notice anything.

“Wait a second, You. You’re supposed to come out properly dressed!”

Brigitte immediately scolded Cariote who had just come out of her shower.

However, Cariote ignored her as she dried herself before neatly putting on the clothes she had laid out on the couch.

“I’ve been sweating all day on the journey here, I’m feeling great now. Thanks for letting me use your shower, mage. I hadn’t bathed in a week.”

A whole week without a bath?

Well, in this world where proper sanitation facilities were scarce, going a week without bathing wasn’t exactly rare. I’ve even gone two months without bathing in some cases.

But.

What surprised me is that even after going a whole week without bathing, there wasn’t any bad smell coming from Cariote.

In fact, she even had this faint soap-like scent.

Even though she came from the land of the savages, women were women.

Quite different from the ragged and smelly male folks I’ve encountered.

Vworgrrrr—

Cariote skillfully used the coffee brewing machine in the lab.

She then sat on the couch, taking a sip of it.

“First things first, I want to talk about the imps we’ll be hunting. What do you know about them?”

Was she asking me?

Imps, huh?

“Not much, it’s hard to spot lesser demons on the battlefield. I’ve encountered many Prime Evils tough.”

“Well, that’s to be expected. But whether you know it or not, you might have encountered some imps. Imps are skilled in disguises and shapeshifting. They often pose as humans in the human world.”

I see.

Well, I knew this much already.

Brigitte then butted in with a smug tone.

“Isn’t it common knowledge that Imps are good at shapeshifting? The real question is, how do we track such creatures? That’s why we sought an expert like you.”

“I won’t be tracking the imp.”

How could she possibly remember that?

Even I can’t remember that.

Graham Academy sure is a fancy place, filled with geniuses.

I’m sure that If I took the entrance exam now, I would fail.

Cariote suddenly chuckled.

“Hmph. Stuffing your head with this nonsense will just make you hesitate when it matters. A good Barbaroi woman just needs to know how to survive. If your body is tough enough, you will make do somehow.”

Cariote’s approach to raising a child was rather lax.

Maybe it’s because she was someone from Barbaria.

Suddenly I had this wild theory.

Honestly, Naru’s education was......Well, it wasn’t stellar.

Maybe it’s because her mother didn’t think it was important?

Her mother’s education must be something like ‘learn as you go.’

Well, that was what I thought.

Cariote was looking more suspicious now.

If I married her, and we had Naru......

Didn’t it mean that this woman would sleep with me every night?

......Honestly, it’s hard to even believe that!

That’s probably because my imaginary graphics card hasn’t gotten an update since I crossed over to this world!

Rustle-.

At that moment, Cariote looked at me.

No way, did she realize I was fantasizing about her? As I tensed up, she said.

“Why should she even bother studying for this test? You’re a thief, aren’t you Judas? Can’t you just steal the pre-made test?”

That was a good idea.

If the entrance exams had something like a pre-made sheet, that is.

But Brigitte shook her head at that idea.

“That’s not possible. The entrance exams are managed by Elle Cladeco personally. Even if the answer sheet was already made it would be in her office.”

“Elle Cladeco. I’ve heard of her. She’s the first to reach Platinum-Tier right? She’s the one who made the levels, tiers, and the karma system.”

Did Elle Cladeco make all of that?

She’s more amazing than I thought.

“She was also the one who proposed the Transcendence Theory, claiming that a human can transcend when they reach Level 50. I don’t know if that’s true though.”

Cariote was more knowledgeable than she appeared to be.

I guess that was a necessity in the life of a demon hunter.

“Cariote, you’re smarter than you appear.”

It suited her in her own way.

Just then, Brigitte said.

“It’s not about being smart, that’s just common sense. Elle Cladeco is the closest one to reach Level 50. If we just break into her office and get caught, then the entire plan goes out the window.”

That was a good point.

“Furthermore, most mages’ workshops have unique bounded fields or formations set up. It would be suicide for Judas to even try to sneak into Elle Cladeco’s workshop.”

Brigitte was indeed wise.

She was truly the brains of our Demon King subjugation party.

And that same confident woman shouted with gusto.

“Well, there will be no need for that if Naru passes the exam. I’ll do whatever it takes to turn her into a proud student of the Graham Academy within these two days!”

“Yay! Naru will do her best for Mom and Dad!”

Naru raised her hands, shouting with her enthusiasm.
